Product details
Overview
RD33ES-T4-AZ from Excel Semiconductor is a DO-34 glass-sealed Zener diode with nominal zener voltage 33.11 V (typical), dynamic impedance 65 Ω at 5 mA, and maximum power dissipation of 400 mW. It operates within -65°C to +175°C storage range and serves as a precision voltage reference or surge absorber in low-power analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RD33ES-T4-AZ datasheet, RD33ES-T4-AZ pinout, RD33ES-T4-AZ application, or RD33ES-T4-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 33.11 V zener voltage tolerance (±5%), 65 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current, 0.2 μA reverse leakage at 25 V, and DO-34 axial glass package compatibility with 5 mm PCB pitch insertion.
Technical Context
This Zener diode uses planar process technology to ensure stable breakdown characteristics and tight E24-standard voltage grading. Its 33.11 V nominal zener voltage is specified at 5 mA test current, with knee impedance ≤250 Ω at 0.5 mA and temperature coefficient optimized for mid-voltage regulation.
The device supports transient surge absorption up to 100 W peak reverse power and maintains reliable operation across junction temperatures from -65°C to +175°C. Its DO-34 glass package provides hermetic sealing and thermal performance validated per JEDEC standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N5261B | 33 V nominal, 70 Ω Zzt at 5 mA, DO-35 package, 500 mW rating | Higher power rating but larger DO-35 footprint; less suitable for 5 mm pitch layouts | Choose when higher continuous power margin is required and board space allows DO-35 |
| BZX55C33 | 33 V nominal, 80 Ω Zzt at 5 mA, DO-35 package, 500 mW rating, ±5% tolerance | Same voltage grade but higher dynamic impedance and different thermal profile | Prefer for legacy BOM alignment where DO-35 is already standardized |
Compared with 1N5261B and BZX55C33, RD33ES-T4-AZ offers tighter DO-34 mechanical fit for compact 5 mm pitch assemblies, lower dynamic impedance for improved regulation, and verified 100 W surge capability-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial voltage references and transient clamps.

FAQ
What is the exact zener voltage range for RD33ES-T4-AZ?
The RD33ES-T4-AZ has a guaranteed zener voltage range of 31.49 V to 33.11 V when tested at 5 mA reverse current and 25°C junction temperature. This range reflects the device's E24-standard grading and accounts for manufacturing tolerances confirmed in the Rev. 3e datasheet.
Does RD33ES-T4-AZ support high-temperature operation?
Yes, RD33ES-T4-AZ is rated for junction temperatures from -65°C to +175°C and storage temperatures across the same range. Its DO-34 glass package and planar construction maintain parameter stability under sustained thermal stress, making RD33ES-T4-AZ suitable for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial motor drives.
What is the maximum surge power RD33ES-T4-AZ can withstand?
RD33ES-T4-AZ is rated for 100 W peak surge reverse power (PRSM) under defined pulse conditions. This capability enables RD33ES-T4-AZ to absorb transient overvoltages such as ESD events or inductive switching spikes without permanent degradation, provided pulse width and repetition rate remain within datasheet limits.
How does the dynamic impedance of RD33ES-T4-AZ affect regulation accuracy?
With a maximum dynamic impedance (Zzt) of 65 Ω at 5 mA, RD33ES-T4-AZ exhibits low sensitivity to load current changes-resulting in <±10 mV output variation for ±1 mA load shifts. This makes RD33ES-T4-AZ well-suited for precision biasing where stable reference voltage is critical.
Is RD33ES-T4-AZ compatible with automated through-hole assembly?
Yes, RD33ES-T4-AZ uses the JEDEC-standard DO-34 axial glass package with 29 mm body length and 1.8 mm diameter, designed explicitly for wave soldering and pick-and-place insertion. Its 5 mm pitch compatibility ensures seamless integration into automated PCB assembly lines using standard DO-34 tooling.
